Chapter 399: Pre-war Preparation

Chapter 399: Pre-war Preparation

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97

On the morning of 25th May, Passing Rain and Laughing Soul arrived at Market Server No. 10 to watch the broadcast.

“Hi, two beautiful ladies. Long time no see.” Once they arrived, they ran into an old friend.

“Oh... It’s Jin Fugui.” Laughing Soul giggled.

“Hey! Can’t you please stop calling me that!” Atobe did not expect... that would be the first greeting out of her mouth. Then, the two members of Underworld Frontline saw that there was another player wearing the Hyotei uniform standing next to Atobe and it was a female player. Her ID was, Black White Gray. Even though she was a female player, she was dressed in a masculine matter. Her bangs were swept to the side and the presence between her brows was sharp. It was like... Atobe felt more like a girl standing next to her.

“Haha... Leader, so your real name is Jin Fugui?” Black White Gray guffawed.

“Erm...” Atobe couldn’t just deny his real name so he quickly changed the subject. “Ah... let me make some introduction. This lady here is the wife of the Master from Broken Sword Chahitsu and the girl next to her is their organization’s main fighter.” He was trying to undermine the two girls in revenge.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” But Black White Gray was confused. However, she soon saw the logo of Underworld Frontline. “Wow, you are...”

“Yes.” Passing Rain cut her off before she got the attention of the people around them.

“Oh! Leader, that’s impressive. You really know people from Underworld Frontline (due to Xiao Tan’s exceptional performance, Underworld Frontline now enjoyed small fame).” Black White Gray turned to Atobe. “And I thought you were bluffing again.”

Atobe’s face was colored by awkwardness but this was not a place to act out so he could only laugh drily twice.

“I cannot help but notice she used the word, ‘again’...” Laughing Soul commented maliciously.

“Ha, you guys are here after all.” Another familiar voice rang out. Long Aomin waved as he walked toward them.

“Since the company announced beforehand that the match will be livestreamed on the big screen, we decided to come and watch...” Passing Rain explained. Seven Kills followed beside Brother Long and he greeted the four. “Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, oh! It’s Seven Kills! Leader.” Black White Gray grabbed Atobe by his collar and swung him around, but her eyes were stuck on the two from Blade Edge.

One could see that Brother Jue who just sold 2000000 Game Coins at the start of May had earned almost another 2000000 Game Coins by the end of May. But... after the trade, he had only 860000 left. In other words, his income for this month was just the half of last month. There were two main reasons behind this. One was the Magical Disintegrator... If he sold all the items that he had lost to this thing, then it would be a wealth of Game Coins. Furthermore, Brother Jue had sacrificed a few useless excellent quality items. That was a loss of even more money.

Secondly, now that his level was high, Brother Jue often went to challenge team survival scenario nightmare mode. But until now... he had never cleared one of them and the time wasted on these scenarios earned him basically nothing. In conclusion, Brother Jue spent half of the month... being a casual player. Without the pressure from the game, he was rather lax with his training. If anything, he was more concerned about Xiao Tan’s progress. However, after Woody’s visit, Feng Bujue’s attitude changed... In the past 2 days, he used all the gaming time he had to complete as many Solo Nightmare Modes as he could. Whenever he cleared them, he would choose the EXP reward... and with that, he soon reached level 39. Unfortunately, this last-minute effort failed to help Feng Bujue gain too much improvement in his power level. The equipment and skills that he gained during this period was nothing to show. Only one fighting skill was rather useable, but he did not reach the learning requirement.

———

Naturally, Brother Jue gifted this to Passing Rain. Underworld Frontline had one female player who used a bladed weapon...

Other than that, Feng Bujue got one excellent quality boots, with a good element. But he felt Jazz Shoes suited him better so he placed the new pair of shoes in the guild storage and whoever needed it could take it.

In any case... the hard work for the past two days earned Feng Bujue practically nothing. Now he was out of time to prepare. Looking back on the half of a month that he had spent doing nothing, he couldn’t help but sigh... If only he put in some effort then. He probably would feel more at ease now.

Of course, even in his current state, Brother Jue was not truly worried... He believed firmly in ‘with a will, there’s a way’.

This was not arrogance and not being he was being sexist and looked down on Xu Huai Shang because she was a female player.

If you asked him where his confidence came from, this conceited b*stard would probably answer, “When I get serious, I even scare myself.”
